This year my 2002 SX Viper has been running around 80:1 on the fuel/oil injection mixture (for example I did 250 miles this past weekend and only used 1 quart of oil). It gets around 12mpg.
Last year it was running around 55:1. Only change I made this year is I shortened the cable gap distance to ~20mm which was supposed to increase oil consumption. At WOT the oil pump is nearly fully open so I really can't adjust the cable much further.
Do oil pumps go bad?? I'm running Yamalube 2S.
The vent line isn't plugged and it smokes a lot when I first start it.

when the oil pump goes bad it starts using more oil.
